one time I recommended Krita to a graphic designer friend and I had to swear to her that I wasn’t trying to trick her into “trying that gimp bullshit again”

I was not in fact the one who got her to try gimp in the first place, that’s just how bad her experience with gimp was

it’s not me the FOSS special boy who’s wrong, it’s:

- the trained graphic designers who tried gimp and hated it
- wikipedia
- people who prefer “corporate fascist slop” or uhhhh checks notes, other FOSS apps like krita that give a shit about design and didn’t name their app after the rape scene in pulp fiction

“nothing we can do about our reputation for being hard to use” says the only major FOSS graphic design app with a reputation for being hard to use
